  3. Amigo BrothersLiterary Focus: Internal and External Conflict An internal conflict, such as making a decision or facing a fear, occurs within a character’s mind. The main characters in “Amigo Brothers” also face an internal conflict. As you read, try to figure out what two forces oppose each other in their internal conflict. How has coping with this internal conflict defined each character?

  4. Defining Coping …anything people do to adjust to the challenges and demands of stress… ….any adjustments made to reduce the negative impact of stress (Red Cross: Community-based Psychological Support, p. 87)

  5. Conceptualizing Coping Strategies • Biological/physiological – fight or flight • Cognitive – how we think about the situation • Behavioral – behavior related to mental process • Learned – strategies learned from modeling/observation • Intentioned – voluntary/involuntary

What each characters’ actions, words and/or description tells the reader about their personality? What adjectives define them? Be sure to connect how their type of coping has told the reader what type of person they are.
